v1.2.0 - Simplified Smart Paste

What Changed

Clipboard image handling removed from BenjaminTerm. Smart paste now focuses on text paste with undo/redo tracking. Image clipboard intelligence (auto-saving screenshots as PNGs, pasting file paths in terminals) is now handled by HyperYap at the OS level, which works across all terminals.

Removed

• clipboard_has_image() detection
• Claude Code / Codex / Gemini image paste routing
• Ctrl+Alt+V emergency image paste keybinding
• Environment variables: BENJAMINTERM_FORCE_ALT_V_IMAGE_PASTE, BENJAMINTERM_CLAUDE_IMAGE_PATH_BACKSTOP, BENJAMINTERM_USE_AT_IMAGE_PATH

Kept

• Smart copy (Ctrl+C = copy if selected, interrupt if not)
• Paste undo (Ctrl+Z) and redo (Ctrl+Shift+Z)
• Ctrl+Shift+V plain paste fallback
• All themes, fonts, borderless mode, toast notifications

Recommended

Use with HyperYap for the complete voice-to-text and smart clipboard experience.

Note: This is a config-only release. The bundled wezterm.lua has changed but the executable is unchanged from v1.1.0. Download the previous installer if you need the full binary.
